The Hermosa Pilot seems determined
to establish five commissioner districts
in this county. In the issue Of the l4th
much space is devoted to the matter of
making apparent the necessity of such
a division, but unfortunately not a
single intelligent reason is stated. The
labored article closes with the following
connumdrum, to which we trust the
Pilot will kindly submit a solution:
"As we have before said, what tax
payer is there in the county who would
not prefer to pay a tax Of fifty to seven
ty-fve cents a year and receive a bene-
fit, than to pay twenty-five to fifty cents
and receive nothingw
We are very much inclined to the be
lief, that after the Pilot has given the
subject more attention, and considered
it in all its varied r~amifications and
financial bearings, that such an un.
warranted measure will no longer be
entertained.

Through the advice Of the county at
torney the county commissioners refus-
ed to grant Hermosa the privilege of
voting upon the question Of incorpora-
ton, through some alleged noncompli-
ance with the law. Some of our citizens
have taken the pains to consult good
legal authority in Rapid City in refer
enc to the matter, and they state hat
the law has thus far been fully complied
with. What will now be done, we can
not at present state.-Hermosa Pilot.
The fashionable remedy for such
grievances as the Pilot cites rs well as
all others %emanating from that source,
lies in an appeal.

THE KIND OF PAPERS THE
FARMERS NEED.

There never was a time when the
farmer was SO much in need of the
help and representation of indepen-
dent and fearless agricultural journals
as to-day. Not only does he need to
be kept informed of the various i'm.
provements that are constantly being
made in the farmers handicraft-the
Introduction of improved varieties of
plants. or: animals, of new machinery
and new methods of culture and man:
agement-but the effect of State and.
National Legislation upon the interests,
of agriculture has become so great
that the farmer who would do his
duty by himself, his. family and his
brother farmers, must keep a careful
watch on the politics of the day. But
the farmer makes a very serious mis-
take who expects to keep himself
posted by taking a single political
journal, and especially one of the
weeklies which, nearly all political
journals now publish for the special
benefit of their rural subscribers,
made up, as they generally are, of
matter ''set over'' from the daily,
edition, with the addition, of a few
columns of so-called agricultural
matter, clipped by a city clerk from
agricultural exchanges, The fact is
that,a very large portion of the politi,t
cal press is SO. bound by partisan al
liances that the truth, is quite a secon-,
Diary consideration, in. its u~tteranees,
to the supposed necessities of political
intrigue, and when a question. of agri-
cultural interest comes to shave. enough.
Importance to have any'politica1 signi-
~ficance, it is either at once tabooed or
so manipulated that the truth is hidden
OF distorted. The fact that times are
hard on the farm is but an additional
evidence that sthe farmer .needa the
help OF those 1oufAak thatscan and
will speak out in his interest, untram-
meled by political alliances of any sort;
and the value Of such help has been
abundantlys demonstrated during re-
cent years.-Fdrm and Fsreside.

SONG BIRD PLEDGE.
Modest L'ttls Widows Game in New
York State.

A Modest L'ttls Widows Game in New
York State.
Two weeks ago a little woman about 30
years of age arrived in Seneca Falls, N. Y.
She said she was Mrs. Ruth Armstrong of
New York, and was one of 70 agents whom
the Society for the Prevention of Killing
Song Birds in New York had sent out into
the rural districts of this state for the pur-
pose of getting pledges from influential
people that they would do all in their power
to suppress the Staying of the birds She
obtained several pledges from the people in
Seneca Falls, and surrounding towns. Next
day the pretty widow received telegram
from Albany, and, with tears in
her eyes she hastily packed her trunk
at her boarding house in Seneca Falls. Her
only brother was dying in Albany, she said,
and she took the first train for that city.
Several days later there were some pretty
angry men in Seneca county. The pretty
little widows bird pledges all turned up as
promissory notes. They had been ingenious
ly constructed from the pledges to protect
the birds. Similar notes, varying in amount
from $50 to $500 EACH have been sold in
different parts of the county, and it is esti-
mated that the total amount of notes con-
strcted from the song bird pledges and sold
in this region is $500 or $1,000. 1t has been
learned that woman exactly answering the
description of Mrs. Armstrong worked the
song bird pledge swindle in Genesee and
Livingston counties several months ago. The
result OF the work at that time was over

abuse of prisoners. The ex-keeper testified
to bad sanitary arrangements, insufficient

as lack Of medical attendance upon the

Anderson K. Hayward of Denver, said to
reporter of st. Louis paper: 81 have
just passed over the Atchison, Topeka & San.
ia Fe and the Kansas Pacific and witnessed
some very peculiar scenes along the roads.
Throughout eastern Colorado and western
Kansas coal famine prevails, and the towns
and farmers are almost entirely out of fuel.
The country is entirely treeless, and unless
coal can be obtained. the people are obliged
to go without fire. The principal, in fact, al
most the only source of supply for the region
referred to are the Colorado coal fields, es-
2ecially those near Canon CITY. The local
dealers failed to lay in sufficient supply
during the summer, and when the cold
weather commenced the demand far ex-
ceeJed the supply. The farmers in the
eastern part of Color ado have taken matters
INTO their own hands and are making or
canned raids upon the coal trains that pass
bound for points further eastn
